So... this is thermocline? it's in a small pond near me, not a very deep pond, I think 18' was the deepest areas..

I know this is a rookie question, but should I be throwing bait to stay above it (spinnerbait, jerkbait, top water, etc.), or to get below it.(carolina rig, texas worm, jig, etc).. Don't laugh at me, I've got a lot to learn..lol.
